term paper

Topics for your term paper. Choose one out of the three. I will set up a time for a discussion board for each topic, so watch the calendar and your email for the dates and

times. If you have a question about a topic, email me at [email protected]

Topic #1-The Sarbanes Oxley Act-specifically as it applies to Boards of Directors of companies. You can research the liability of boards under the act, and how it has changed director liability since it went into effect and how boards have changed since

the act went into effect.

Topic #2-Criminal liability of businesses or businesspeople-Write a term paper on a criminal action of someone or some company who has committed a white collar crime and has either pled guilty to it, or has been convicted of the crime in a trial. This has to

be a trial or incident that is timely and has occurred in the 21st century. Choose only one defendant and make your paper detailed. Ex. Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme

Topic #3-An environmental accident for which a company was liable. It can also be a deliberate environmental incident for which a company was liable. This must have also

occurred within this century. Be specific and detailed and pick one incident. Ex. BP gulf oil spill
